To open eyes, ears and hearts, it takes the timeless principles of passion, courage and care.</p> <h5 id="values">Values</h5> <ul> <li><em>Innovation</em> – we elevate the spirit with pioneering ideas, new possibilities and the imaginative application of art and science to improve people’s lives and make a positive lasting impact.</li> <li><em>Service</em> – we work with integrity, striving for better ways to deliver value and velocity at every connection.

Over 70% of our clients work with our teams in multiple regions.</p> <p>In addition to our own <a href="http://www.futurelions.com">Future Lions</a> initiative, we have formed partnerships with many schools and universities.

We recognise an ongoing series of actions needs to be taken to advance equity and appropriately address issues.</p> <p>Through <a href="https://www.akqa.com/antiracism">a series of company-wide, industry and recruitment initiatives</a>, we are making progress towards our diversity goals, continuing to learn and improve.</p> <h5 id="mental-health-and-physical-wellbeing">Mental health and physical wellbeing</h5> <p>Employees can’t be their best at work unless they are in good physical and mental health. Recent global events have educated all about underlying risk factors, the importance of wellness, and disease prevention. The healthier our lifestyles, the better resilience and longevity we are likely to have. In addition to organised opportunities through sport, yoga and meditation, for example, we also provide our employees with regular <a href="https://www.akqa.com/self-care/">self-care resources</a> for families and individuals, combined with continuous positive lifestyle encouragement.</p> <h5 id="sustainability">Sustainability</h5> <p>AKQA is designed to be an organisation that has endurance, courage and an open mind.</p> <p>We know that our longevity is inextricably linked to the health of our planet and each living organism that also calls it home. We believe every individual carries the duty to ensure the earth we inhabit today is fit for life tomorrow.</p> <p>Around the world, in each of our studios, we are <a href="https://www.akqa.com/sustainability">continually assessing</a> how the work we do and the way we do it can enhance the service we provide for our employees, clients, society and environment. From the suppliers we engage, to the local communities we touch and the spaces in which we function.</p> <div class="component cta-component" data-component-name="cta"> <a href="/careers/">Discover opportunities</a> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="footer-component-wrapper" data-footer-name="Main Footer" data-component-name="Footer" data-show="on-scroll" data-show-type="fade"> <div class="component footer-component"> <div class="footer-links-wrapper"> <div class="column-grid-wrapper"> <div class="grid-item"> <div> <h4 class="heading-subtitle"> <a class="navigation-link" href="/careers/">Careers</a> </h4> <nav class="navigation-component" data-component-name="Navigation"> <ul class="navigation-list"> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/careers/" class="navigation-link" rel>Job opportunities</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/our-people/" class="navigation-link" rel>Our people</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/careers/working-at-akqa/" class="navigation-link" rel>Working at AKQA</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/careers/what-we-look-for/" class="navigation-link" rel>Qualities we look for</a> </li> </ul> </nav> </div> </div> <div class="grid-item"> <div> <h4 class="heading-subtitle"> Community </h4> <nav class="navigation-component" data-component-name="Navigation"> <ul class="navigation-list"> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/insight/" class="navigation-link" rel>AKQA Insight</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/future-lions/" class="navigation-link" rel>Future Lions</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/perspectives/" class="navigation-link" rel>Perspectives</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a class="navigation-link" href="/companies/">AKQA Companies</a> </li> </ul> </nav> </div> </div> <div class="grid-item"> <div> <h4 class="heading-subtitle"> About </h4> <nav class="navigation-component" data-component-name="Navigation"> <ul class="navigation-list"> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/news/" class="navigation-link" rel>News</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a class="navigation-link" href="/studios/">Studios</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a class="navigation-link" href="/sustainability/">Sustainability</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a class="navigation-link" href="/privacy-policy/">Privacy Policy</a> </li> </ul> </nav> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <span id="dark-mode-helper" class="visuallyhidden" data-dark-mode></span> <div id="custom-header-container" class="visuallyhidden"> <!-- Google Tag Manager (noscript) --> <noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-W2TVMFQ" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript> <!-- End Google Tag Manager (noscript) --> <header id="top" class="component header-component visuallyhidden" data-custom-header data-header-name="Main Header"> <div class="nav-wrapper"> <a class="akqa-logo" href="/"><span class="visuallyhidden">AKQA</span></a> <nav class="navigation-component" data-component-name="Navigation"> <ul class="navigation-list"> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/work/" class="navigation-link" rel>Work</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/expertise/" class="navigation-link" rel>Expertise</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/careers/" class="navigation-link" rel>Careers</a> </li> <li class="navigation-item"> <a href="/studios/" class="navigation-link" rel>Studios</a> </li> </ul> </nav> </div> </header> </div> </section> </main> <section class="cookie-banner hide" data-noindex> <div class="component cookie-wrapper"> <div class="cookie-text"> <p>This website uses <a href="/privacy-policy/" target="_blank" title="Privacy Policy">cookies</a>.</p> </div> <div class="cookie-actions"> <div class="cookie-prefs"> <span class="cookie-prefs-manage">Manage settings</span> <div class="cookie-prefs-more"> <form id="cookie-prefs-group"> <fieldset> <label class="switch" disabled="disabled"> Strictly necessary <input type="checkbox" name="necessary" class="cookie-checkbox" checked="checked" disabled="disabled"> <span class="slider round"></span> </label> <label class="switch"> Functionality <input type="checkbox" name="functionality" class="cookie-checkbox" checked="checked"> <span class="slider round"></span> </label> <label class="switch"> Analytics <input type="checkbox" name="analytics" class="cookie-checkbox" checked="checked"> <span class="slider round"></span> </label> </fieldset> </form> </div> </div> <button class="cta cta-component cookie-banner-close">Accept All</button> </div> </div> </section> <div class="cookie-banner-backdrop"></div> <div class="shade"></div> <script> window.SEARCH_APPLICATION_ID = 'ZE58Z02210';
